Yellow Pixels - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Recently I've started seeing yellowing pixels on the left side of my screen.. It started about a month ago and now, especially visible on a white screen, there's a huge line of yellowed/dead/burnt pixels. I didn't know if this was an issue that some other people have had or if theres a way to fix it... I love this phone but this is some stuff I remember happening to the those POS iphone 4's. Really upsets me.

Picture would be helpful.

Its on the left side of the screen.. Not a lot of light but its pretty noticable if you're using my phone

Rma it. If you have warranty. It's not likely to go away.

Add said above rma it.it is very noticeable.

Dust under screen

Has anyone had issues with getting dust under their screen. I recently received a replacement from asurion and the bottom left corner seems to have a wider gap than the right with backlight bleed and at night when there is a black background I can see what looks like dust. Would you consider this something worth contacting them about and possibly getting replaced.
If its bad, then yes I'd see about a replacement because it shouldn't be like that. I mean, you could try opening it up to clean it and see about sealing it better, but I don't know that you're obligated to fix it yourself because that is a defect. But be warned, it seems like a lot of people have been getting inc 2s as replacements, although its not a bad phone.
Ive got a couple of specks of dust that are only noticeable with the screen off. I dont have asurion but still have the Htc warranty. I could take it apart but refuse to potentially kill a perfect Dinc. Any Suggestions?
None here, but this problems brings back bad memories of my BB Storm. Glad I made the switch!

[Q] Should I return my handset?

Ok so these are the symptoms my phone has:
1. Very small in perfection in the polycarbonate on the back right hand side. Looks like a small hairline crack but it's not a crack its smooth. Doesnt really bother me but I do know it's there...
2. Small mark under the screen, only visable on dark backgrounds or when looking at a black image. Not sure if it's one of these "yellow spots" people have mentioned but so far after 5 days it's still there.
3. Fruit Ninja lags a lot. Other tegra games seem so so but the screen gets very hot and also the spot under the camera ring.
4. If I tilt the phone slightly to the right for example in this forum I can see small pattern (slantered) on the screen.
5. When using the keyboard in landscape mode the predictive text bar moves about.
6. Some times when I press the power button to switch the screen off it comes back on as if its stuck slightly.
7. Some other small software glitches.
Would you ask for a replacement given these items?
Yes, you should bring it back for a replacement.
The crack and the mark under the screen is worth replacing it, you've spent money on a product that isn't as good as they clamed, so a broken phone.
I'm taking mine back tomorrow.. damn yellow spots
i returned mine for the yellow spot issue the day after i got it, got an exchange for another, couldn't be happier, with the lag and such its all just software and its kinda what you'd expect getting the new device at release, wait for some patches and see how it goes, but id exchange for the yellow spot issue anyday
Yes do it but just have to hope the replacement doesn't have any issues itself.

Screen/Glass Defect?

I just got my Note 4 yesterday upgraded from the Note 3, loving it so far but noticed something... About 1/2 inch from the top and almost dead center there is a tiny spot on the screen the looks similar to if the screen was dirty with finger prints but not the size of a finger print. It is very hard to describe. I have cleaned the area thoroughly and since have put a screen protector on it. It's not very noticeable and definitely not dead pixels, almost like a minor defect in the glass. I am part of a corporate account and got this phone at my upgrade price, it was quite an adventure to go through the process to get this ordered and I don't think all of it is worth trying to get a replacement. Has anyone else noticed anything similar to what I have poorly described?
I have the same mysterious circle. Ha to be at a certain angle I certain light to see it. No idea what it is but its driving me crazy since I have OCD anyway

Anyone have like a light red/pinkish hue tint along the bottom of the screen and edge

I dont know if my eyes are just completely bugging out or if what im seeing is true. I got my replacement note 7 yesterday and everything went well but then i saw a red/pink tint towards the bottom of the screen i started to freak out but decided that i would let it fly til Monday or so hoping that its just glue or something drying up. Its more noticeable when the screen is on a full white screen or if the bottom/edge part of the screen is white but other than that you can't see it at all.

Sounds like a display issue. My Note 4 had half the screen streaked/covered with a similar color. It was really similar to what the blue-light filter looks like when turned about half way up actually. But it was only on about half the display, and in streaks so was more of a bother because it wasn't the entire screen. I honestly only really noticed it when I was reading my kindle app on my phone with the lights turned off, otherwise it really wasn't very noticeable in normal lighting conditions. Upon reading about this on google this can happen to these kinds of displays that Samsung uses. Might be something to send the phone back for a replacement. I'd really have to see a pic to know enough to know for sure though.
Sounds like a defect. Bound to be a few. Try massaging that area of the screen fairly hard and see if there is any change.

I had that issue on my silver Note 7 and opt to exchange it (after many rounds of persuasion and complaints with at least 3 Samsung technicians). Some see it, some don't. This happened right before the recall.
Thought it was only a random unit of mine, but since you also raised this issue, could be more widespread. FYI, my unit was international version. Also same pinkish hue at the bottom. My replacement unit (before the recall) did not have this issue.
My note 7 recall replacement is not here yet (Samsung announced our replacement only available officially on 29 Sept in my country). I too hope my recalled-replacement will not have the pink hue at the bottom of the screen.

Image Retention

Been using this set for a week now and i already got image retention on the navigation buttons and notification bar ,its not that much but its there and on top of that at the bottom right side of the screen there is a yellowish tint like when i compare both sides one appears to be white some and the other a tad yellow.
Gonna replace it soon as i'm kinda worried that the warranty claim authority wont even bother to look into it and they'll shove the issue off and they'll be like that the panel is okay smh so i'm gonna wait for a month and see how it goes.
Pretty disappointed in Xiaomi panels now.If anyone else is facing this issue please highlight it.
I had a Moto G4 with horrible heavy screen retention before. The day my A2 Lite gets it too, I'll claim warranty for sure.
